dav2008,
I think it just said a Children's book about math or calculus. OK, I agree at first glance this may sound ridiculous. But there sure are some concepts in calc which can be understood by children. You could e.g. talk about some wizard who has a box full of pieces of string where the 1st is 1 ft long, the second is 1/2 ft, then 1/4 ft, and so on, and ask what is the total length of all the strings.

I asked about the children's age because one has to take into account what they might already know.

That one is kind of obscure. A more famous one would be Bernoulli (you have quite a selection of them!). But all you can really show is a portrait. If you want a mathematical concept, you could try Beta function

C- Continuity/ Chain Rule

Another good visual one would be Conic Section

E- Extreme Value Theorem

I assume you are talking about the first- and second-derivative tests, but I've never heard of it by that name. Since you already have Global Extreme Value, how about something different, such as Eccentricity? That lends itself well to pictures.

H- Half like

Say what?

How about Hermite Polynomial?

K- not sure, need some help

K-theory

OK, no that will blow their little minds. Go with mathman: Kronecker Delta.

O-Optimization

This, along with Extreme Value Theorem and Global Extreme Value is your third one on the same concept. How about Oblique?

Sorry, I don't understand what's going on here. I don't think the ABC idea is good, but even Tom made some suggestions . Do you really think it's useful to confront children with (say) Hermite Polynomials? OK, I'll make one more suggestion on how to make calc interesting for children, and then I'll leave this topic.

ACHILL AND THE TURTLE
Once upon a time, there was this very fast runner called Achill. Look at the picture! Feathered helmet, big muscles, he's a really cool guy. One day, a small turtle walked up to Achill, and said: "Achill, let's have a race. You're 10 times faster than I am, so you got to give me some advantage. 10 metres will do."
Achill said "OK", and here you see them both getting set for the race. BTW, the guy with the pistol is called Zeno, and here you see how he fires into the air. BANG! Achill crosses the 10 metres in almost no time, but has he caught up with the turtle? No. As you can see in the next picture, the turtle has gone 1 meter and is still ahead of him.
"Wait", thinks Achill, I'll catch you. He runs another 1 meter. But look at the next pic! The turtle is no more there. It has moved another 10cm, and is clear ahead of Achill...blah..blah...

OK, no that will blow their little minds. Go with mathman: Kronecker Delta.

Into smithereens, no doubt.
But really, I myself don't know most of these "famous" mathematicians (granted I am not the lodestone of all knowledge... but...) Do we expect these children to identify with them?

How about Kepler, for being the sort of stimulus for Newton's formalisation of celestial mechanics?
